Upcoming programs

Thanks to everyone for coming out to our Summer Programming! We're taking a few weeks off, but don't fret, we have some upcoming programming in September and October that you'll enjoy!


Super Savvy Shopping Secrets

Tuesday, September 20 6:30 to 8:30
Come to the library and learn ways to $AVE on everything from groceries to home appliances from savvy shopper and Amherst resident Julie Koitzsch. Things you'll learn: the WHERE and WHEN to shop, understanding sales flyers and cycles, coupon shopping, store rewards and MORE!

"Soup-erb" Soups with Elizabeth Skipper
Tuesday, September 27th 7:00 to 8:30

Soup making is an art that should not be lost. In an era where canned, dried and prepared foods abound, still nothing tastes like home made. Soup is versatile, nutritious, delicious, and easy on the budget. Local chef Elizabeth Skipper of the Everyday Epicure will present this mini-tutorial on making soups from scratch, beginning with stocks and broths. She will also make a chicken broth and a French carrot soup for sampling.

First-Quarter Moon Skywatch
Tuesday, October 4th - Talk starts at 7:00, Skywatch at 7:30

If you missed our first skywatch in February (brr!), come in learn the basics of astronomy with Ed Ting, amateur astronomer and resident of Amherst. After his talk, members of the New Hampshire Astronomical Society will have telescopes set up so everyone can check out the First-Quarter moon and other objects in the sky. Also don't forget we have a telescope, generously donated by NHAS available for checkout.

If the weather does not cooperate, our Rain Date will be Thursday, October 6th

Summer Reading Wrap up

Happy Summer, everyone!

Glad to report that our summer programming has been a success! We had great attendance for some awesome programs, thank you everyone for coming! We'd love to hear your feedback on the programs we had. Feel free to pass along any comments to cpearman@amherst.lib.nh.us.

Local news website, Amherst Patch has some great write ups on our Drum Circle with Julie Corey, which was a blast! Also featured was the great Petting Zoo our children's department put on last week!

Don't forget our end-of-summer-reading BBQ out on the Town Green on Thursday, August 18 5:00 PM. We'll have some great food, and some games for the kids. We'll also have Tom "T-Bone" Stankus, a great kids musician perform at 6 PM. Head on down and bring the whole family!
